Removing rootkits without compromising system integrity is particularly challenging and needs to be done with care. Our partner Sophos has developed free software - Sophos Anti-Rootkit - that finds and removes any rootkit that is hidden on your computer.
What is a rootkit? The term rootkit is used to define a Trojan (or technology) used to hide the presence of a malicious object (process, file, registry key, network port) from the computer user or administrator.
As part of its complete protection of endpoint computers, Sophos Anti-Virus detects rootkits and prevents them being installed on any of your desktops, laptops and servers.Sophos Anti-Rootkit provides an extra layer of detection, by safely and reliably detecting and removing any rootkit that might already have secreted itself onto your system.
Using Sophos Anti-Rootkit is straightforward. Whether you use its simple graphical user interface or run it from the command line you can easily detect and eliminate any rootkits on your computer.
To ensure that you have the most recent version of the free Sophos Anti-Rootkit tool (and associated user manual), visit the Sophos Anti-Rootkit web page.
